I have ordered the recalled part from the dealership on 20 july. i returned a call on 03 aug. and was told that only a few parts were being sent to the dealerships per month. it is now 17 aug and i have been on your hotline for an hour and a half. i live in a high humidity area, and i am very concerned that there is no regard to the safety issues of this vehicle. perhaps the media would like the information for another story on how the manufacturers are failing the public.

I hit a deer at 75 mph. this caused major damage to my vehicle and engine. there was no airbag deployment. i ended up with neck/back injuries and bruising where i struck the steering wheel. *tr

Received safety recall for airbag- called dealership and was told chrysler did not send parts. dealership explained that they would contact me when parts arrived. one month has passed and no contact received from chrysler or dealership. should i be riding around in florida humidity without repairing these airbags? what good is a recall if it is never repaired? *tr

Although the recall has been issued, chrysler has not released the replacement parts to any dealer in my area (central florida). further, the dealerships have no date by which they expect to receive the parts. *tr

Air bag light stays on even though there has never been an accident. i don't think it will deploy correctly. it is truly a safety concern. *tr

We were driving on the freeway and we slowed down for traffic. we were going about 25 miles an hour when we got hit from behind. the car was going 40 to 50 miles an hour. the whole dash - stereo and etc came apart but neither the driver or passenger airbag deployed?? i just bought the car from a dealership in september 2013 so everything should have been in working order. *tr

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. the head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. this is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. and my job requires me to have to be at work at night. this is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and i'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. the passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well. *tr

I was recently in a car accident where my brakes locked on me and i went sliding into another vehicle. when the impact occurred my air bags never deployed and my brakes were still locked. *tr

I was on the freeway doing 65 mph, and was rear ended by a drunk driver in an suv doing approximately 120 mph. at the time of impact my airbags did not deploy. my vehicle did not spin out of control or anything like that, but had i not had control of my car, who knows if the airbag would have deployed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. the contact stated that the airbag warning light had been illuminated for approximately five years. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised him that the airbag clock spring needed to be replaced. after having the repairs done, the failure recurred approximately three months later. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was advised that the airbag clock spring would need replacing again, as well as the abs module. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 20,300.

I recently purchased a 06 dodge charger r/t. vin: [xxx]. manufactured 3/06. it is equipped with advanced air bags, and an occupant classification system that will disable the air bags if it detects a small child in the front seat. however, on my car, and on the other (20+) cars on the dealers lot, the indicator that tells you when the passenger air bag is disabled is not present. there is simply a plastic place-holder where the indicator light should be. i have been in contact with several other charger and 300c owners, and virtually all models produced after jan 06 do not have this light. here is a memo that my dealer found from chrysler concerning this: note for all markets; as of 12/23/2005, for cars without side airbags, and as of 01/05/2006 for cars with side airbags, the passenger airbag disable[pad] lamp is no longer functional. it is still present, but will not illuminate at any time. according to nhtsa law: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ncap/airbag...frontabs.htm#5 vehicles with advanced frontal air bags that are designed to suppress the air bags (not allow them to deploy) are also required to have an indicator light with the phrase "passenger air bag off" or "pass air bag off". when illuminated, the purpose of this indicator light is to inform you that the passenger frontal air bag has been automatically turned off (suppressed) by the advanced frontal air bag system and therefore will not deploy. this can happen if sensors detect a small-statured passenger such as an infant or toddler in the right front passenger seating position. this seems like a major safety issue to me. i have contacted chrysler numerous times regarding this, and each time they take my contact info and say they will get back to me, but i have yet to get a call. *nm updated 07/12/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Dt*: the contact stated while in a left hand curve at 23 mph, the passenger side tire separated from the wheel. the tire pressure sensor light did not illuminate to warn the contact of low tire pressure. this caused the vehicle to go off of the road into a trench, bouncing between either sides of the trench. the vehicle hit six trees and ended up pinned against the mountain on the passenger side. most of the damage occurred on the passenger side. the airbags did not deploy and the seat belts were worn. the indicator light that states the passenger side airbag was deactivated was illuminated. the occupants sustained injuries. there was a police report taken at the scene. the vehicle was towed to a dealership, where repairs were started. that dealership was unable to perform all necessary repairs; therefore, the vehicle was towed to another dealership. the vehicle has not been returned to the contact.

Dt: the consumer states while driving at 40 mph the abs failed to activate. the vehicle skidded off the road and into several trees. upon impact, the frontal and side/curtain airbags failed to deploy. the contact felt it was a traction control problem. the abs failed once before. there have been no repairs made at this time. *ak updated 12/07/05. *jb
